The Henschel 15556/1917 has obeen part of the collection since 1976, which can also look back on a past as a construction locomotive. After operations in Silesia, the locomotive ended up in Oeslau in the Second World War for the Wischniowsky construction company and Annawerke AG. After being stored, it was set up as a playground locomotive in Oeslau in 1960 and finally ended up in the German Steam Locomotive Museum in 1976, where the locomotive was restored to its delivery condition as HF1757 with grey paintwork.

BDZ (Heeresfeldbahn) 0-8-0T-T No. 46560 (HF1039)Posted by: Dale W Ficl on Dec 2, 2022 @ 07:12:50
Henschel 15052 was assigned the HF number 1039 by the German Heeresfeldbahn. upon delivery at tgeir Reserve Park, Berlin. In 1919 the locomotive came into the inventory of the Bulgarian State Railways, which classified it as BDŽ 1039. In 1936 she was assigned the number BDŽ 46560 and was used on the Struma Valley Railway around Dupnica. From 1942 the locomotive was used in the Rila Mountains together with two other brigade locomotives (Henschel 14255 and Henschel 16020). During the Second World War, not far from a monastery, a small hydroelectric power station was built there under German management. A separate field railway was built for the transport of materials. After the completion of the construction work, due to the adverse road conditions, the light railway was used until the 1960s to transport visitors to the monastery and to transport wood to the sawmill in Rila and the paper mill in Kocerinovo. In 1960 the railway was shut down and the locomotives were parked. The 46560 was erected as a memorial at the Kocerinovo paper mill before a short train, where it was parked until the late 1990s. Then the locomotive was taken over by the "Association for the Promotion of Small and Local Railways", which was based in the Schwechat Railway Museum, Austria until 2019. The locomotive is currently undergoing long-term refurbishment.

Marromeu Sugar Factory (Heeresfeldbahn) 0-8-0T No. 1 'Joseph' (HF1741)Posted by: Dale W Fickés on Dec 2, 2022 @ 06:12:51
Classified by the German Heeresfeldbahn, originally delivered to its Reserve Park, Berlin and numbered as HF 1741. It was sold to Mozambique in the 1920s with around 20 other brigade locomotives and was there as locomotive 1 until the outbreak of civil war in 1974 on the routes of the Marromeu sugar factory in action. The locomotive fleet of the sugar factory remained on the sugar factory site until 1998, when an English railway enthusiast acquired the brigade locomotives for the purpose of resale and had them transferred to England. It was not until 2005 that the last locomotives could be sold to museum railways in England, Germany and South Africa. Henschel 15540/1917 was purchased by a member of the Penrhyn Railway Trust and shipped to North Wales. In the meantime, work has begun on dismantling the locomotive to make it operational.

Brigade locomotive - Henschel 15191/ was incorporated as HF 1459 into the fleet of the Heeresfeldbahn at the Reserve park, Berlin and in the 1920s was used at the French sugar factory Maizy and, from 1963 also as locomotive 6 at the Variscourt sand pit. In 1970 the locomotive became part of the Pithiviers Transport Museum.

Here, too, the locomlotive still carries its old number 6 and the name Caroline. In addition to the brigade locomotive, the collection also includes a B coupler from Jung, Krauss and Maffei, a C coupler from Decauville and various diesel locomotives from Deutz and Diema, among others.

BDZ (Heeresfeldbahn) 0-8-0T No. 470.60 (HF 1052)Posted by: Dale W Fickés on Dec 1, 2022 @ 04:12:16
This was delivered to the Heersfeldbahn replacement park in Berlin to become No. as HF 1052. After the end of the war, the locomotive went into the inventory of the Bulgarian State Railways in 1920, which classified the locomotive as BDŽ No. 47060. For the period from 1946 to 1965, the locomotive was used on the 57-kilometer route Kaspican - Todor - Ikonomovo. Upon retirement it was placed in Ruse railway museum which has since been redeveloped and/or closed. Since 2009, the 47060 (parked on a 760 mm goods wagon) together with two other steam locomotives from Ruse has been in the Rodopi Railway depot in Septemvri. The locomotives were supposed to receive an optical refurbishment there, but no work has yet been undertaken. The Ruse Railway Museum has also been completely redesigned in recent years, so there should hardly be any space left for the return of the three locomotives.

Sena Sugar (Heeresfeldbahn) 0-8-0T No. 3 (HF 998)Posted by: Dale W Fickés on Nov 30, 2022 @ 10:11:44

In 1974, after the outbreak of civil war, the industrial railway and locomotives were shut down. In 1998 an English enthusiast bought the decommissioned brigade locomotives and had them shipped to England. After arriving in Warwickshire, most locomotives were resold to private individuals or clubs. Henschel 14928 has passed through various private collections in recent years: 2003 - Cattle Country (Berkeley), 2004 - Oakhanger (Hampshire), 2006 - Gnosall (Staffordshire) and 2007 - Malton (Yorks). The locomotive has been part of the Statfold Barn Railway collection since March 6th, 2009, and the refurbishment to make it operational is to begin soon. The Statfold Barn Railway is a notable private railway, consisting mainly of 600 and 750mm gauge vehicles. A few years ago, several steam locomotives were bought from the Indonesian sugar cane railways and transferred to England, most of them from German production (Orenstein&Koppel, Krauss and Jung). In addition, the remnants of the English locomotive factory Hunslet were bought up, from which newly manufactured steam locomotives based on historical models are now being offered again.
